I was quickly quoted at the end of February 2017 and was told it was a day or day and a half job tops. Paid our 50% deposit on April 10th. On April 27th I received a phone call asking if they can do the driveway the next day on April 28th. I agreed and took off of work. They didn’t show up until the early afternoon. Dropped a machine in my driveway without saying anything and came back a few hours later. Once the driveway was torn up Reggie said that they would be back Monday to complete the job as the Asphalt Plant just opened up that day for the season. I agreed again and took off of work on Monday May 1st. He was a no call/no show. I called an left a message and never received a phone call back. Over the course of the 3 more weeks, I left 4 messages. 2 of them with his secretary and 2 with the answering machine. After a google search of his name, I found out he was arrested that weekend for a DWI of .23 while running off on a tab at Hooters in Wayne, NJ. A police officer was injured in the process and he used racially charged verbiage at the hospital. I also found that he was fined for illegal dumping in Andover Township that same month. So, now knowing his character, on May 22nd I gave a final call to his office where a new male assistant answered the phone. He was apologetic and told me that Reggie basically blew off completing my job for other jobs. I advised that if I did not hear back by that evening that I would file a police report. In the interim, I called my zoning officer and found out that he also never applied for the permit as promised. That evening when I returned home I filed the police report. When filing the report I also found out that he was recently escorted off of Black Bear Golf Club for vile and lewd behavior.
